30 gf chocolate sandwich cookies (I use glutino)
2 tsp butter, melted (use a vegan if you want recipe to be dairy free)
1 tsp water
Scrape out filling in cookies.
Crush cookies into a fine crumble.
Combine crumbs, butter and water.
Spread crumbs evenly over pie plate.
Pack crumbs down evenly onto bottom and sides.
Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes or until firm. Let cool completely.
If I had to leave all other dessert flavors behind (well, I think that is where most of them end up anyway) it would definitely NOT include chocolate.
Some people have coffee, wine or soda as their guilty pleasure but mine would be CHOCOLATE.
I admit, I have an addiction, a mental fixation on all things chocolate.
In fact, I don’t think I have ever eaten any chocolate that I did not like.
All flavors: white, dark chocolate and yes, even bitter chocolate are appealing to me.
So I came across a recipe that included 3, count them 3 of my favorite desserts: mousse-yes, pie-yes and chocolate YES!
I have a very hard time resisting a rich, creamy smooth mousse and if it is chocolate mousse, well, I am in taste overload!
And you’re putting all of that silky deliciousness in a gluten free pie? Shut Up!!
I will be indebted to you for life (or until the next fantastic chocolate dessert comes along)!
This is a super easy, super delicious Chocolate Mousse Pie recipe.
Full flavored chocolate goodness is in every bite from start to finish and believe me, there will be very little leftover in my house!
Enjoy!
